Not Everybody Made It Home

Description: I was looking over my portfolio one day and was getting fed up of looking at ‘clean’, ‘perfect’ renders and thought to myself “ I want to create a render with mood, feeling ,emotion”. So following on from my passion for the war years, and working only minutes away from Brighton Station I came up with this idea. The idea behind the piece is a wife waiting at the station for troops to arrive home after the war… however, her husband never made it home… Hence the title of the piece ‘Not everybody made it home’.

I started of with taking photos of the modern Brighton Station then using elements of that fused with elements of war time era train stations that I found online I came up with a rough sketch of the scene. From there the scene took on a life of it’s own.
